A Virtual Choir

I have suggested the Pinkies sing Lux Aurumque after hearing the St. Michael's Singers perform this in Coventry Cathedral one Easter, but the Pinkies have never done it, in part because it doesn't quite fit in with our no-sheet-music style. Had I known about the choir project, however, I would have jumped at the opportunity to do it on-line, as these people have done. Eric Whitacre, in what is a stroke of genius, has arranged for a variety of individuals from around the world to record their lines and compiled them all into one super virtual choir. There was an incentive: these people were all auditioning for a choral scholarship via YouTube. The individual audition tracks are here. The (somewhat engineered) product is above. Wonderful!

The next project is another of his famous songs: Sleep. Stay tuned because the Pink Insider will definitely be taking part!
